Season Four | 4. How to Do Great Work Part 2

Written By kim klassen

from the Paul Graham Essay ‘how to do great work’.

“high morale helps you do good work, which increases your morale and helps you do even better work. But this cycle also operates in the other direction: if you’re not doing good work, that can demoralize you and make it even harder to. Since it matters so much for this cycle to be running in the right direction, it can be a good idea to switch to easier work when you’re stuck, just so you start to get something done.
”

Inspired by a TikTok that stopped me in my scroll. Stop romanticizing other people’s lives and start romanticizing your own.

We often look at others and see all the ‘perfect’ things they have. But nothing is perfect. What you see isn’t everything that is.

Today I talk about how this shows up in creativity, websites, our work… how we keep looking out instead of in. And how maybe the real magic is in loving what we already made. Because the fact that we get to create at all — is a gift. ♡

Wouldn’t it be cool to declare this the summer of something that actually matters to you? Doesn’t have to be big. Doesn’t have to be public. It can just be yours

If you haven’t listened to The Summer Of yet, maybe start there. This one circles back to that and adds a few new sparks.

Perpetual Retirement and Instagram Thoughts too.

A quick pod. A few brain explosions. A shift in how I’m thinking about Instagram… and what Naval Ravikant said about work and retirement that felt so right I had to hit record.

If you haven’t listened to The Summer Of yet, maybe start there. This one circles back to that and adds a few new sparks.

Welcome to the Summer of …..

A new season, a new experiment. I’m declaring this the summer of… and sharing what that means for me. I’m also inviting you to create your own Summer Of list. In this episode, you’ll hear my process, a few prompts to get you started, and why sometimes you just have to start before you’re ready.
